here is a new video feature by us.
As the title implies, this is all about Hard Acid, Acidcore, Acid Gabber... and related music from the 90s era.
To give you a lil introduction to these styles, or to refresh your memories a bit.
Either way: Enjoy!
Definitions taken from the Gabberpedia [ https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/p/the-90s-gabberpedia-underground.html ] :
Acidcore
Acidcore takes Acid music to a Hardcore level.
303-like bassline modulation and thundering bassdrums are the foundation for this genre.
While actual acid music was already seen as somewhat atonal and abrasive upon its advent (todays listeners might perceive it differently), with Acidcore, the prominent basslines frequently get distorted, manipulated, EQd, and burnt beyond recognition.
The tracks often have a hypnotic, monotonous, entrancing, repetitive quality; there are tracks that literally drone on for 10 minutes and more, with nothing but manipulation of the same loops of bass sounds, percussion, and a drum.
This makes them ideal for long sets in festivals or underground settings.
Despite the generally minimalistic setting of most tracks (303+drums+maybe one or two synths), there is a lot of variety in the genre. Ranging from ~150 BPM "Dancefloor" smashers to 200+ BPM aural assaults, or slow and calm tracks on the other side of the filtered spectrum.
Indeed, together with Doomcore, Acidcore is one of the few Hardcore genres that often uses non-distorted, Techno-like drums.
Some Acidcore artists push the distortion so hard that their tracks bleed into the genre of Noisecore; the results are then some of the most extreme and blood-thirsty Tracks of the whole Hardcore circuit.
Hard Acid
The more savage side of Acid
A bit softer than full-blown Acidcore, and more on a Techno tip.
Connected to the wider underground Acid scene.
